’Scaper of the MonthArkhamAuthor: quozlArkham is one of the legends of C3G, the Heroscape comics custom group. Read on to learn more about this mysterious masked vigilante!

PROFILEWho are you really?
Stephan Johnson. I’m just a dude that likes creating.

How old are you?
28

What is your occupation?
“Business Analyst” would be the title. I work for a company that has a website and automated system when customers call in. So I work hand in hand with the developers of those systems, to make sure that what is developed is working as it should. I’ll write acceptance criteria, detailing how it should work, then test and make sure it works once it is created.

What’s another board game/RPG you enjoy and why?
I enjoy D&D. Played for a couple of years with friends as...

Following up from the last old interview, here are some fresh questions for quozl. I recruited the other members of C3G to join in on this one and provide the questions for this long-standing member of C3G. First up, quozl has a question for himself ...
[quozl] What has changed with you in relation to Heroscape since the last interview in 2011?
I still love Heroscape but I play it a lot less than I did in 2011. My daughter and I have been exploring other games like Frostgrave and RPGs. We still play Heroscape once in a while but not nearly as much as we used to.

[Bats] What do you hope to see out of the next ten years of C3G?
I’d like to see a lot more scenarios, destructible objects, and obstacles added to the game.

Since a new C3G release has just dropped, bringing plenty of classic horror movie villains to the battle of all time, it’s time to piggy back on that and review C3G’s first slasher.

Customs CreationCriticism: Giving and TakingAuthor: Scytale
Creating custom Heroscape units is a lot of fun. Even more fun is seeing them played in games. You can create all the customs you like and play them in your home games; plenty of people do so and have great fun doing it. Some like to take that next step and share their creations with the online Heroscapers community. Of course, it’s nice when someone else prints out and uses your designs in their games (as a creator, there is no greater compliment), but the true value of our generous community is in their invaluable critiques. Refining a unit with your own playtesting and your local group is all well and good, but the broad experiences, varied tastes, and discerning eyes of the people that frequent the customs community can really help to raise your customs to the next level....

Being a clone comes with a few synergies; two of those are the cloning powers of Arnim Zola and Jackal. Generally, those powers are best used as an insurance policy for very high-value heroes, or as a way of getting your hooks into an opponent’s hero. Scarlet Spider is a respectable mid-level bruiser, but he isn’t nasty enough to be a go-to option for either of them to clone. It is feasible that he could be a backup option for Arnim Zola. Jackal, on the other hand, requires you to commit to a specific...
